Full In-Depth Review

Real unboxing & first hands on

In this video I introduce & review the Elephone P9000. After that I put it through various tests and show you some results. I also remove the backcover, so you can have a look inside and what the battery info actually shows.

In the end of the video I list all the pros & cons, so if you just want to know if this device is for you or not, just jump to the conclusion in the end of the video!

Camera samples: (be the judge yourself) (Clearly needs some optimization!)

I want to share some personal experiences that I so far had with the battery/batterylife on this device.

Standard charger test & battery capacity mAh (with cable):

I today did a measurement with an USB tool. I ran the battery dead so it turned off by itself.

Then I plugged in a standard charger (5V, 1A) and let it charge from 0-100% - I wanted to do this first test just with a normal charger. And the charging was done while the phone was turned off.

- At time 17:24 I started the charging and the battery was on 0%

- At time 19:10 (106 minutes later) it showed 100% charged the USB tool show then 2770mah

But I noticed that the charging didn't really stop, it kept charging even when showing 100%.

So I let it charge on to see when it would stop completely....

- At time 19:35 (131 minutes later) it still showed 100% charged, but the USB tool showed then 2949mah and it was stopped!!!

Fast charger test (with cable & Elephones big fast charger).

It charges 45% in only 38 minutes!

It charges 76% in only 62 minutes!

It charges 90% in only 73 minutes!

It charges 100% in only 87 minutes!

That is really quick.

Geekbench 3 battery test results: (run with dimmed display)

http://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/213325

With the wireless charger pad, it charges rather slow.

30% in 60 minutes

So expect about 200 minutes (3 hours and 20 minutes) for a full charge.

Info:

The battery seems to be very close to the promised 3000mAh. But the battery indicator/percentage (at least for me) didn't seem to be fully correct, or I need to calibrate it some more. Maybe more charge cycles would also help, as I so far only charged it few times.

Regarding normal daily use, I was able to get through about 1 day (23 hours and 10 minutes), but not much more. I observed the battery usage with GSam Battery Monitor and it seems that the phone was held awake 14 hours, I'm not sure what that means, but maybe it is because of wakelocks? that said, I also had email push activated, so it may have checked randomly for new mails also. Besides that I of course also had things like GPS, Dual SIM, WiFi and the Fingerprint scanner activated....
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] antigravity:
What's your overall impression of the phone? Is there any noticeable lag? Does it feel high quality in the hand?

And the display looks quite nice- is it nice in person?
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
My overall impression of the phone is really good. No noticeable lag, seems very smooth. And yes it feels very high quality in the hand, very close to a OnePlus 2 I would say. The display looks exactly like in my video also in person. In terms of design and display quality this is maybe the best phone from Elephone so far. I can't remember to have had an Elephone with the same high hardware quality, even the GPS is super good. My only real remark is the batterylife, which could be better.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] antigravity:
Thanks for the feedback Styler it really does look like a quality handset.

If you go by the feature list, the only other handset on the market that ticks as many boxes as the P9000 is the Note 5.

That's taking into consideration wireless charging, 4GB RAM, NFC etc. Even then, the P9000 has Laser Focus and Micro USB Type-C which is incredibly handy. Can't wait to get my hands on one.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] apolloFER:
Hello people

Mine just arrived today. So far it looks like a good device but time (and XDA support) will tell. Here are a couple of observations and early bugs. I hope someone sees this (from Elephone) and fixes it in the next software release.

OBSERVATIONS:

- you can enable navigation bar (stock android soft buttons)

- only installing SuperSU doesn't work

- OS build date is 26.1.2016.

BUGS:

- When you insert a non english SIM card (mine is Croatian) the phone automatically changes the system language to the language of the SIM card. It does this on every restart and no matter which language was previously selected. It does it on both SIM1 and SIM2 slots.

- When restarting the phone the mobile data doesn't work any more. I have to switch it to 3G and then back to 4G and it works then.

- When I enable the navigation buttons (stock soft buttons) the hardware button continues to work (should be switched off). Also, the swipe home button up to open Google Now doesn't work. Don't know if this is a MM feature.

- Volume down buttons has some issues. Volume up works without a problem but volume down doesn't always respond, have to press it harder for it to work.

I hope we'll get a XDA forum section for the P9000 soon. Also, if you have something you would like me to check out on the phone let me know. :)
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
[MENTION=2260567]apolloFER[/MENTION] I think your problem with the volume button is hardware related, because it works fine always on mine.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] apolloFER:
[MENTION=2105197]s7yler[/MENTION] Yup, I'm pretty sure it is hardware related. But just wanted to mention that there's a chance for that to happen with this device.

There's a bug report form on elephone forum (and an email to do that) so I reported them.

The auto language change will be driving me nuts! I can already tell. :D
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] apolloFER:
Onwards toward rooting the phone.

adb shell has su access (at /system/xbin/su) and I can remount the system as rw and copy whatever I want to /system/bin. Which should allow me to copy the latest su to that place. Will see if it works. :)
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
The thing with the "auto language change" I have also seen on some other china phones, it also happens for me on the Leagoo Elite 1. And yeah it's pretty annoying as my SIM card is German, but I rather want the phone to be in English :)

btw. post #1 is also now updated with my full video REVIEW, battery test & camera samples for people who don't know the device yet.....
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
You just have to press and hold the home button to start Google Now... not swipe up... Recent apps will instead be shown when you press the square button. (not holding the circle button then).
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] PetaX8:
This phone looks extremely good. Looking forward to it!
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcuspredsident:
I´m worried about the camera on this one. The sample pictures you posted [MENTION=2105197]s7yler[/MENTION] seems to lack in focus. I can´t see the focus in the pictures. No sharpness at all.

I just hope it´s better than my Oneplus One that is just rebooting all the time. And that Gearbest will ship it soon...

Good review BTW [MENTION=2105197]s7yler[/MENTION]

And what Bluetooth version can it handle? 4.1?
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
Yep, the camera really needs some optimization! pictures indeed lack sharpness and focus!
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] semphal:
Gizchina said that the camera's poor quality is related to hardware problem (due to cheap lens). What do you think? I pre ordered P9000 mostly because it's camera promise.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] s7yler:
How would Gizchina know if it is hardware or software related? it is impossible to know. Could be software but could also be the sensor, I'm not sure what the reason is.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] willngg:
any fix for wakelock though?
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] icare2:
Hi s7yler,

Nice post,

I'm not a pro with Android phones but I had bad experiences with Elephone (bad software, no system update, no after sale service and bad support in the company's forum) in afew words : ''Elephone promises a lot of things but forget it afer sale''...

Maybe The P 9000 will give me hope in this company.

( I saw good price for the Asus Zenphone 2 and XDA have a good support)

What is the score with Antutu 6 Benchmark?

Thank's

icare2

Do it support qc 2 charge ? Some chinese phone support qc and mtk fast charge too.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] a.cid:
Hello,

I have received the device as well and would love to know if you have figured out a way to root the p9000. That, and Xposed, should help make this device my daily driver.

I am kind of disappointed with the camera. I am yet to see the laser autofocus to work properly. Focusing still takes like 2 secs every time, which is slightly annoying for someone used to quick focus.

My Hermes does not have the wireless modem program. Is there another way to Tether my Pocket PC to My Labtop. Or Is there a download to upgrade my Phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cliffgardner:
all of the information you need can be found here: http://pocketpccentral.net/help/cingular/8525_usb_modem.htm

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] llwhipll:
Start/Programs/Internet Sharing

The latest overhaul of the "Wireless Modem" program for tethering to your laptop also included a name change to "Internet Sharing".
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Itsdarts:
The post above this is correct, it is now called "Internet Sharing" and is located in the "Programs" folder of newer 8525's. You should have two choices, either USB or Bluetooth. I've tried both and both work good. However, I recommend using the USB cable that came with your device as this provides faster access to the net. This will be especially true when you're out of the 3G network area and have to rely on Edge.

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jOEdAbOSS:
I want to put my DT2 on straight talk, but I'm afraid that if I do I'll be stuck on Lollipop forever.... Could I just temporarily put a VZW sim in to get the OTA? Could I find the update online and do it manually? I've never had a phone I couldn't unlock the bootloader and flash and so on, so I don't know.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeljko1234:
As you already know, Turbo 2 is SIM unlocked. You should get OTA regardless of the SIM. LP firmware is out for Turbo 2, hopefully will be for MM as well. I have Force and I updated manually even my bootloader is still locked so you should be able to do the same.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwcasey:
I'm familiar with ROMs, flashing etc. This Z2 Tab came with PacMan 5.0.2 ROM and Cynaogen Recovery. I downloaded and flashed 5.1.1 PacMan just for grins, and it worked ok. Then I downloaded, wiped/flashed latest CM12.1.

So I'm getting comfortable flashing .zip ROM files and that's usually what I have done. I've used Samsung's Odin tool to flash TWRP and stock ROMs before, which is what the flashtool kinda sounds like to me.

My question is how do I get back to stock?

and

What is dual recovery? and are SGP511 and SGP512 compatible? It's just 16GB versus 32GB, correct?

I've downloaded flashtool and XperiFirm. So I think I have the tools I need. I just need to find an appropriate Stock ROM/Firmware (already rooted and bootloaders set up would be preferred) and learn how to put it all together.

Thanks guys!
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwcasey:
I eventually figured it out...well, maybe. After several reboots, I saw "Optimizing Android Apps" and it counted up, then some NFC update and then another reboot.

I got to 'select language' , but it keeps rebooting?? I used Xperiafirm to select SGP512 Wi-Fi and I tried to use one for US/CA/PR market Vmo US/CA/PR 23.4.A.1.232 / R4C . Was this not correct?? Is this some Verizon Mobile firmware (wondering if that is what Vmo is) even though it said it was SGP512 Wi-Fi...confused.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwcasey:
Finally up and running. I ended up with the Taiwan Customized TW [1281-8203] 23.4.1.232 / RC6 with Global-WiFi . Running fine and stable.
